Question from Carl:  Can you show how the simulation file is managed in Windchill?  If the model is changed after the simulation is complete, will the results file still be viewable?  Or does the simulation have to be re-solved?

Answer:  We can save the results file into Windchill, however to view it you would need to open it in Creo as shown in the demo.
